Blushing brides, guardian angels and ‘Hunt’
The weeks after the wedding ceremony are so important to a bride — and so busy. It’s a time for honeymooning and sending out thank-you notes. And finding out that your new husband may be a murderer! Lifetime puts June bride romances in the rearview mirror with the 2016 shocker “Newlywed and Dead” (8 p.m., TV-14).
CANCELED ANGEL
Summer has truly arrived when networks begin burning off episodes of suddenly canceled series. Look for two helpings of “Angel From Hell” (CBS). In case you don’t remember, it starred Jane Lynch as a slightly tipsy guardian angel sent to Earth to counsel a workaholic (Maggie Lawson). Tonight’s unseen episodes include a cosmic do-over (8 p.m., TV-PG) and the death of a fellow guardian angel (8:30 p.m., TV-14).
CHASING PREDATORS
Having just feasted on Shark Week, are nature documentary fans ready for an old-school diet? BBC America celebrates Sir David Attenborough’s 90th birthday with “The Hunt” (9 p.m. Sunday, TV-PG), a series narrated by the celebrated filmmaker.
“The Hunt” follows predators in the wild. While a casual glance at a leopard chasing an impala looks like an unfair fight, “The Hunt” assures us that the hunter is most often at a disadvantage and rarely captures his prey. The focus here is not on tooth-and-claw savagery, but canny strategy, by both predators and the pursued. It makes for addictive drama.
New episodes of “The Hunt” arrive every Sunday night through Aug. 14.
‘O.J.’ COMPLETE
All five parts of “O.J.: Made in America” will re-air on Sunday on ESPN2 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. ESPN will air another marathon starting Saturday, July 16, at noon.
